nrgMike 15 Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 Hi. I found this video to be useful when considering the key. It's basically a front of the line pass with internet. spiralqueen, kontraxed, Tdoner and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well right now there would be because you get priority tendering, once the pier is open, there won’t be too much of a benefit Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Birdman325 3 Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 I also booked this for an upcoming (but later) Navigator sailing. Please post your thoughts about it after using it. TIA (Thx in advance) JennyB 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tdoner 15 Posted March 7, 2019 Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 I regard to priority boarding, how does anyone know who has the key and who does not? I didnt see anything on my documents. TIA! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'd imagine it is in their system when they go to check you in at the terminal? Not certain, would just assume they would have it in the computer if you pre-purchased or not. Been a long time since I've been on a cruise, but I've seen a key symbol on seapass cards. Not sure at what point you get those though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure at what point you get those though. On Mariner the cards were on our stateroom doors. And I don't remember anyone scanning anything when they called to board us - nothing was scanned until we were on the ship (although maybe that's where they'd send people back, although that seems odd after walking through the gangway. But then again, I could totally be misremembering since I was very excited to get onto the ship and my memory is basically sand. WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for your help I brought a copy of the record of my purchase of the key from the Cruise Planner just in case anyone had any questions (I believe it may have also been indicated on my phone app somewhere). I don't recall ever needing it for Key benefits. Somehow maybe someone needed to see it for lunch at Chops. Sorry my memory is so bad. It's a wonder I can function in society sometimes.

Tdoner 15 Posted March 7, 2019 Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 hahahaha. No, thanks for the tips. I'll find out on Sunday either way , but printing the purchase receipt is a great idea! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Orange Crush 276 Posted March 7, 2019 Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 So that's a cool thing I didn't realize--they basically whisk you past the regular security line while boarding? How do they scan your carry-ons? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

How do they scan your carry-ons? Not completely sure. With carnival's FTTF, you sort of bypass the regular security line, basically jumping in front if everyine else to be scanned.

How do they scan your carry-ons? No, not the security line. Just from the waiting area after security. I'm not sure how pre-security works since I was one of the first 5 people in the terminal.

Seem counterproductive to sell it then not know who bought it until after they use part of the benefit. But what do I know haha I'm just excited to have it come April, cuz I'll be there bright and early front of the line! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And in response to your previous post, I agree, it seems silly to not know who has the key, but maybe theres something I'm not yet aware of Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They had a different (shortened) security area for us, as well as check in area. Signs for the key are visible and the staff is very helpful. Seating/waiting area for key members is available as well. Hope this helps! Kyle_cardinalsfan51 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I plan on being in the Key line no matter what-need to start that vacation ASAP. Leaving from Miami on the newly amped Navigator! After key breakfast this am, we were escorted off of the ship (bypassing all lines) and into the terminal where we picked up bags. We were then ushered into a separate customs line (with no one in it) and out of the terminal in what seemed like seconds. I wont spoil other perks of the key for you , but I'd do it again in a heartbeat! SpeedNoodles, jhatle01, Kyle_cardinalsfan51 and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
